NFD version 0.6.3
Note that this is the last release that encodes to NDN packet format
version 0.2.1 <https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.2.1/>__. A
future release will continue to decode v0.2.1 format, but will encode to
v0.3 format <https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/>__.
The build requirements have been upgraded to gcc >= 5.3 or clang >= 3.6,
boost >= 1.58, openssl >= 1.0.2. This effectively drops support for all
versions of Ubuntu older than 16.04 that use distribution-provided
compilers and packages.
The compilation now uses the C++14 standard.
